Fixes #3821.
This applies the UTF-8 token-boundary merge used by the CLI JSON path to the server
verbose_jsonword output. The UTF-8 tail detector now lives inexamples/common-whisper, so both CLI and server use the same helper.When a multi-byte character is split across adjacent tokens, the server now emits one merged
segments[].words[]entry instead of separate invalid UTF-8 fragments.segments[].tokensstill preserves the raw non-EOT token ids, so a merged word can correspond to more than one token id.For merged words, metadata follows the existing CLI lead-token convention:
start,probability, andt_dtwcome from the lead token, whileendadvances to the last consumed token with a valid end time.Verification:
